Going to be interesting to see what Clearlake do if Bayern or Palace put £30-40m on the table for Josh. I don't think they'll be able to resist all that lovely pure profit ...

Don't think we want to keep him or care about improving us in the air. Josh not only our best cb but our bet aerial cb too yet no game time there.

Goes along with looking to loan Douglas Luiz done it?

Anselmino has managed just 6 appearances for Dortmund due to multiple injuries this season.

Like you said not an aerial force cb, is a ball playing one though.

Would Rosenior prefer a cb like Sarr who is good in the air and he has worked with before? Guess not eh Eghbali

But what 6 appearances! According to Romano he had an excellent impact at Dortmund!

I wouldn't be surprised if Anselmino gets loaned to Strasbourg and Sarr is recalled to play for us. Wouldn't hate it.

If this means we don't go and spend a small fortune on another mystery child then I'm all for it 🤷‍♂️

So where does he fall in the pecking order?

I mean Josh already isn’t getting game time ahead of the generartional Benoite f**king Badiashille! Where does this kid fall into things?!

Above Josh and below Disasi probably...

Rumours are we’re sending Anselmino to Strasbourg and recalling Sarr with Jezza Jacket being signed and left on loan until the summer.

I'd take that - want to see more of Sarr and let his time start.

Seems to have been very attached to Dortmund as we was crying his eyes off when saying goodbye to his teammates.

Now watch him get no minutes ahead of Tosin and Badiashile and make the odd appearence against Hull 🤣

Of all of or CBs the only one that seems to be in favour is Colwill, perhaps thats because he is unavailable. All of the others would appear not to be a guaranteed starting place any time soon for various reasons. Chalobah Badashiele Tosin Fofana Achempong Disasi are all used in a rotation at best, perhaps Chalobah is as close to first choice at present. Anselmino is worth a try in January and Sarr maybe in July.

The difficulty is finding a young CB with a lowish wage demand who is good enough to force his way into a regular starting position, transfer fee is no issue ( to our clowns).

What we have in the main above is failed or failing attempts at the ideal. I think the club are going to continue with this process for the foreseeable future, Im hoping we hit lucky, soon.🤞

Good luck Aaron !

I mean we could have just sent Disasi to Strasbourg to recall Sarr....

Haven't we done enough damage to them?

Reckon we have only 1 international loan spot remaining after recalling Fofana. I don’t like how we have behaved here, we have screwed Dortmund over so late in the window for no reason. He was actually getting games when fit, even played at the weekend right after getting fit. I would think a club like Dortmund renowned for developing players would be one we would want to maintain a solid relationship with.

Why are we recalling him? We have 6 CB's that are fit already. We don't need 7 CB's of similar quality.

f**k Dortmund. Always want everything for free then expect top dollar for their bang average players.

Excuse is “injury crisis” but GarnachoChelsea is onto something about loaning him to Strasbourg and recalling Sarr.

Is Sarr a significant upgrade on what we already have? This will also still leave us with 7 CB's. If Tosin is out for a while, then that is still 6, it's hardly an injury crisis. Chalobah, Acheampong, Badiashile, Fofana. Hato as backup and Disasi if things get desperate. Unless somebody is a lot better than the players we already have, then I just don't see the point recalling anybody.

I think the idea of bringing back Anselmino and Datro Fofana may be to do with freeing up loan slots so we can send others ( or them ) out and or sell or loan others out. There seems to be a desire to shuffle the CB pack both on the pitch and on the squad list. I think we are looking for Gold.

Not really. Promising but still untested in the Premier League & its intensity.

I will say though he should 100% be in the squad next season over Tosin.

Agree with that assessment. But in that case why bring him in now and not just wait until the summer? He would get a lot more playing time staying with Strasbourg.

Yeah from any logical analysis, our back line needs experienced quality and an aerial presence.

Recalling Sarr/Anselmino does nothing.

Pfft, drama queens. I'll tell you something astonishing, signing Gittens for £50m.

Shakes the footballing world.

Recalled a player that had a specific clause we could recall them at any point, which Dortmund agreed to.

What surprises me is that despite the lack of top quality of our existing CDs we have the 4th joint best defensive record in the PL and 5th in the CL.
